四、[核心素养]完形填空。
人与自我——生活与学习
It was a sunny day. I had gone up and down the tower when, outside the door at the foot, a blind man came toward me. In a moment, he disappeared up the stairs. I looked at the sign that said “To the Tower”, and I decided to 1 him.
I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was 2 to see the attendant (工作人员) selling him a ticket as if he were any other visitor. Then, with the ticket in one hand and touching the wall with the 3 of the other, the blind man reached the stairs leading to the hallway.
“That man can’t 4. What would he climb up the tower for?” I said to the attendant, expecting him to pay 5 attention to the poor blind man, but he didn’t answer.
“Not the 6 certainly,” I thought, feeling quite worried up the stairs. “Oh! Perhaps he wants to 7 from the tower.”
The man hadn’t gone as far as I imagined! A third of the way up the tower, I heard his steps. I slowed down and came after him at a little distance. He 8 from time to time to have a short rest.
When he got to the balcony, I was many steps 9. As I reached it, I saw him at the corner of the tower.
At last, after ten minutes, I got closer to him. “Excuse me, but I am curious to know 10 you came up.”
He smiled, “11 up the stairs, you will notice how not only light but sun pours into the tower through the narrow windows here and there, so that you can feel the changes: the cool stairs suddenly become quite 12 and how up here behind the wall there is shade, but you can find the 13 as soon as going opposite a window. On the way, I took time to enjoy the fun. There is no time so good as this for feeling the difference between light and shade. It is not the first time I’ve come up.”
The blind man seemed quite 14 just like a child who was lost in his favourite games. He told me that blind men can also find the 15 in life although they cannot enjoy the sights of the world.

【分析】
做完形填空首先要通读全文梳理故事主线：本篇讲述作者在塔边遇到一位独自上楼的盲人，出于好奇决定跟随对方，起初作者误解盲人爬塔的目的，最终交谈后得知盲人是沿途感受塔内光影冷暖的变化，体会生活的美好。解题时不需要死记硬背孤立词义，每一道题都要从前后文找对应的提示线索，比如后文出现的动作描述、作者的心理活动、盲人的回答内容都是解题的核心依据，先结合线索排除明显不符合逻辑的选项，再选出最贴合语境的答案，最后把所有答案代入全文通读，验证整体逻辑通顺即可。
【解析】
1. 后文提到“I caught up with him in the ticket office”（我在售票厅追上了他），说明作者此时决定跟着这个盲人，选B.follow。A.save拯救、C.help帮助、D.visit拜访都不符合后文动作逻辑。
2. 工作人员像对待普通游客一样卖给盲人门票，这个场景完全出乎作者的预料，因此作者感到很惊讶，选C.surprised。A.frightened害怕的、B.afraid担心的、D.glad开心的都不符合语境。
3. 盲人一只手拿着票，结合常识盲人探路是用另一只手的手指触碰墙面感知方向，选A.fingers。B.hands手会出现语义重复的逻辑矛盾，C.arms手臂、D.legs腿都不符合探路的动作逻辑。
4. 前文明确点明这是a blind man（盲人），因此他看不见东西，选B.see。A.hear听、C.walk走、D.smell闻都不符合盲人的属性特征。
5. 作者希望工作人员能多关注这个可怜的盲人，pay more attention to是固定搭配表示“更多关注”，选A.more。B.less更少、C.bigger更大、D.higher更高都无法和attention搭配表达该含义。
6. 作者最初思考盲人爬塔肯定不是为了看风景，view表示“风景、景色”符合爬塔的常规目的设定，选A.view。B.test测试、C.prize奖品、D.competition比赛都和语境不匹配。
7. 前文提到作者十分担心盲人，此时作者胡思乱想，误以为盲人可能要从塔上跳下去，jump from the tower符合作者当时的担忧心理，选B.jump。A.drop掉落、C.enjoy享受、D.relax放松都不符合作者担忧的情绪逻辑。
8. 后文提到“have a short rest”（短暂休息），对应的动作就是盲人时不时停下脚步，选D.stopped。A.laughed大笑、B.moved移动、C.shouted大喊都和休息的动作无关。
9. 前文提到“came after him at a little distance”（在他身后不远处跟着），说明盲人抵达阳台的时候，作者还在他后面好几级台阶，选A.behind。B.ahead在前面、C.around在周围、D.outside在外面都不符合作者跟在盲人身后的设定。
10. 作者主动上前搭话，是好奇盲人爬上来的动机，询问原因用why，选B.why。A.how如何、C.what什么、D.where哪里都不符合作者好奇对方爬塔缘由的语境。
11. 这是盲人的回答，说明走上楼梯的时候，你就会注意到光线的变化，coming up the stairs符合正常爬塔的状态，选D.Coming。A.Staying待着、B.Running跑、C.Jumping跳都不符合语境。
12. 前文提到阳光从窄窗户洒进塔里，原本凉爽的楼梯被阳光照射后就会变得温暖，选C.warm。A.smooth顺滑的、B.soft柔软的、D.cold冷的都不符合阳光照射后的温度变化逻辑。
13. 前文提到墙后有阴凉，一走到窗户对面就能晒到太阳，对应前文的sun pours into the tower的描述，选A.sun。B.shade阴凉、C.wind风、D.wall墙都不符合转折后的语境。
14. 后文提到盲人就像沉浸在最喜欢的游戏里的孩子，说明他非常愉悦满足，选C.pleased。A.bored无聊的、B.tired疲惫的、D.patient耐心的都不符合他享受过程的状态。
15. 盲人说虽然他们没法欣赏世界的显性景色，也能找到生活里的美好，beauty表示美好，符合全文主旨，选A.beauty。B.difficulty困难、C.detail细节、D.truth真相都不符合语境。
